The Peranakans are descendents of early
immigrants who settled in various parts of Malaysia, Singapore
and Indonesia, fusing with the indigenous population
through marriage, culture and language. With
roots from China, Malaysia, Indonesia and India, and influences
from Portuguese, Dutch and British colonial rule, this confluence
of cultures in turn has created one of
the region’s most intriguing cuisines. Combining
local spices, roots, herbs and leaves like
chili, coriander, lemongrass, galangal and tamarind
with preserved and fermented seafood like “gragok”
and belachan, Peranakan chefs formulate different "rempahs" or
pastes which they use to produce a
bewildering array of meat, seafood and vegetable dishes both locals and visitors rave as absolutely intoxicating. Baba King Nonya Delicatessen and Restaurant invites you to join us on a gastronomical journey to experience South East Asia’s “ORIGINAL” fusion cuisine. Discover a comprehensive range of traditional dishes alongside some excitingly
unique contemporary creations inspired by the same spirit of culinary
experimentation that has evolved Peranakan Cuisine into what it is
today.
